I have been riding Scooters and Motorcycles for 50 years. Just purchased a 2009 Silver Wing. I currently have a 2013 CanAm Spyder RT-S, 1984 BMW R100CS, and a restored/custom Vespa p200E. My wife has a 2004 Suzuki Burgman 400 with a Tow-pac trike conversion (training wheels). My intent is to either put a Danson kit (training wheels) or a sidecar conversion on the Silver Wing. I'm 68 years young and am having issues with my legs/back while moving a 2 wheeler in/out of the garage or putting one up on the centerstand. The Spyder is over kill for riding with my wife and I have been thinking of a Silver Wing for a long time, hence the Silver Wing purchase. I have used this forum as a guest to gain enough information to determine the Silver Wing was the right scooter for me and my ultimate modifications. Looking forward to being a forum member!

Thanks for the links model28a! Once the snow starts here in Colorado I will be going through the scooter top to bottom. I have ordered the factory manual for it. Until then I have done the basic safety checks and will ride/enjoy.

Pastor Ron I have investigated/considered Hannigan sidecars, Danson trikes, Texas Sidecars (out of business as of July 2015), Trigg Trikes, and the GT3. I like the concept of the GT3 but it needs some body panels to better integrate with the scooter. I'm now leaning towards the Trigg as a trike based on my research and the integrated appearance. Still waiting for Hannigan to contact me on adding one of their sidecars. I have wanted a sidecar rig for over 30 years but think the trike may be a better choice. I was looking at a new Ural for awhile but had a concern about quality and price. A SilverWing with a sidecar or trike conversion has more power, cruise speed and quality than the Ural!

Model28a - I really liked the look and design concept of the Yelvington but as I did research I found that Harleywld1 on this forum had issues with Trinity Trike and the TrikeTalk forum dropped Trinity/Yelvington as a site sponsor in Jan 13. Yelvington may have corrected the issues that Trinity had but I'm not willing to take a risk with the amount of money required to purchase a Yelvington kit.
